    When you've had the equivalent of a 12 year old in the White House for the past 8 years, people get excited about change. But the honeymoon is over and time to start cracking.

    Dry counties and no state lottery.

    All it accomplishes is giving money to your neighbors that should be coming to your state (or county).

    Diaper commercials that advertise their product like they're talking directly to the baby that's going to be wearing them.

    "You're an infant"

    No, no I'm not an infant, dumbasses.

    While I'm on the subject of annoying advertising techniques.

    Products that try to perpetrate like their name brand is a completely different product than other name brands that do the same thing.

    For example, Dove commercials that tells you that they moisturize your skin "better than soap" or that Dove doesn't leave an invisible layer of soap scum on you "like soap".

    Dove is soap, dumbasses. Why not just say "better than the competition" or "better than the other guys"?

    I don't like that commercial...I think it's for Best Buy..where the girl has her group of "bargain finders" or some crap. It's like a Sherlock Holmes-esque guy, a hound, private eye, etc.

    I don't know why, but it just irks me.

    Oh. You know what REALLY grinds my gears, but thank god I don't have to hear it so often..?

    Don't disrespect Willy Taveras. He was a one-man wrecking crew in fantasy baseball last year with his 70 stolen bases.

    The surprising part was that he got on base 70 times in order to get those 70 steals.

    But I wouldn't be totally shocked if he got on base only 35 times and stole both 2nd and 3rd every time.

    CC Sabathia, offensively, is more valuable than Willy Taveras.

    It grinds my gears when you email someone for an interview and they don't email you back. At least have the kind heart to tell me you don't want to talk to me.

    what grinds my gears is after the interview when they don't call you to just say "thanks but no thanks", thats all i want if they don't want to hire me at least then I'm not staying home by the phone instead of looking else where

    the best part is that they act all surprised/annoyed when you call them if they don't let you know when they said they'd let you know one way or the other.
